Hey Tom,
He entered 18 horses on Saturday with 2 wins, 5 place finishes and 1 show finish.
Someone mentioned that he earned over $1,000,000 in purse money but for the betting public you lost money playing his horses.
If you wagered $2 to win on each of his horses it would have cost you $36 and you would have needed at least 6 winners paying $6 or more to get a profit or perhaps one or two longshots with combined win payouts that were better than $36.
I'm sure the casual bettor didn't realize he had so many horses entered to run that day and probably wasted money playing his horses.
He'll probably win the Trainer title at Saratoga but it's a shame there isn't a system in place that would tell you which Trainer gave you the best return on your money. That Trainer should win the title not the one who entered the most horses in the season.
